Through an interview with Japanese magzine, Square Enix said that an alpha test will start before the FFXIV beta and there will be about 10 percent of the finished product that players can play in beta test. Here are questions about the beta test. You can read more info through the link below:

Q: How much percentage you can play in beta test compared to the real product?
A: The alpha test will start before the beta, and will start from about 10 percent of the finished product. We'd like to check the entire system before release, but the majority of in-game content won't be released until the final product.

Q: Will the servers be named after summons, like in FFXI?
A: It'll be a bit different from FFXI, but it'll be something familiar to FF fans. By the way, the FFXI beta server had a different name than the final game servers (BLATANT SPECULATION: I'm thinking they're trying to hint that they might follow the theme for the FFXI beta server name, does anyone know what it was? Either that or they're trying to say that the beta server name and regular service servers names will be different)

Q: How many servers will there be in the beta test?
A: We're going to start the alpha with one server and gradually expand during the beta to an environment that can hold hundreds of thousands of players.

Q: What about world transfer service? Can we continue what we did in Beta version in the official version?
A: I'd like to make it possible that users played together in Beta version can start in the same world, when the official service is started. As for the world transfer service, there is a possibility in the future, and some kind of regulation would be needed.
